Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain and nervous system. Its main causes and characteristics are as follows:
Brain cell function: Epilepsy occurs when the cells in the brain (Neurons) emit abnormal electrical impulses (electrical impulses/signals). This disrupts the normal functions of the brain.
Symptoms: This abnormality in the function of the brain cells causes sudden loss of consciousness, loss of body control, seizures, and tremors.
Relationship with other organs: This is not a disease that primarily affects the teeth, bones, skin, or muscles; rather, it is a disorder in the brain's control system. (Muscle tremors or contractions occur when incorrect messages are received from the brain).
